the initial inequality is:


5(x+4)>2x+4+3x

now we can distribut the 5 into the parenthesis so:


5x+20>2x+4+3x

now we move all values with x to the left and all constants to the rigth so:


\begin{gathered} 5x-3x-2x>4-20 \\ 0>-16 \end{gathered}

SO in this case the variable disapear, so x can take any value
